HSE to Build Sport Complex in Moscow
HSE will build a three-story fitness complex near the Kaluzhskaya metro stop in Moscow, adding to the university’s sports and recreation infrastructure. The complex will include a swimming pool along with a number of fitness rooms and sports halls.

A Virtual Tour of HSE MIEM
How does one enter into virtual reality? How many hours does it take a 3D printer to print a bust of Van Gogh? And is it true that in one of HSE’s laboratories, you can monitor low Earth orbit satellites in real time? In the newest edition of Open House, Anastasia Zaitseva and Artem Ivanov, both fourth-year students in the Informatics and Computing Technology undergraduate programme, talk about these questions and more.
Where Programmers Become Programmers
What are Euclid and Descartes doing in a building that at one time belonged to the Gosplan? What does M+P+ mean, and how do you get an internship at Google? In the latest edition of Open House, Valentin Biryukov, a second-year student in the Applied Mathematics and Informatics programme, and Maria Gordenko, a fourth-year student in the Computer Engineering programme, talk about these questions and more.
HSE Moves Closer to the City Centre
This year, many students and staff of HSE in Moscow will change the location of their study and work. Instead of some sites in districts on the outskirts of the sity, the university is using buildings in the centre. In addition to that, faculty departments which are now scattered in various parts of the city will move closer to each other. This will allow lecturers and students to spend less time commuting.

HSE invites you on a virtual tour of Moscow. We’ve put all the HSE Cornerstone articles together and made a map of places worth seeing in the neighbourhoods around the university buildings.
HSE. Cornerstone: 10th line of Vasilyevsky Island, Building 3/30
The building that used to house St. Petersburg's Patriotic Institute has held its status as an educational establishment for more than 200 years. It was founded as a school for the daughters of heroes who fought in the Patriotic War of 1812. In the 1830s, Nikolai Vasilievich Gogol taught history at the Institute, and after the October Revolution, students learned the fundamentals of physics and mechanics. The campus, which is made up of a set of buildings that includes a Patriotic Institute cultural heritage site, was placed under the operational control of the St. Petersburg Higher School of Economics in 2006.
